comprehensive network to fill in the service coverage and capacity gaps. Yearly increases
cannot be anticipated to increase evenly as customer demand on the network will control future
deployments. As a rule of thumb the Town could anticipate an average of approximately two
new tower sites and/or two to four collocations and/or antenna attachments (of any combination)
per year over the next ten years. This estimation is based on the mathematics of the population
density; subscriber base and usage; transient movement through the Town and how many calls a
base station can simultaneously serve at any given time. The geographic areas of where these
new facilities will be needed due existing terrain to anticipated network capacity demands are
shown in Figure 16.
